Maybe not the most underrated of all-time, but of recent games, it has to be Outer Wilds.

Piecing together clues and solving mysteries while flinging myself across a small but incredibly well-realized planetary system was one of the most satisfying experiences I've ever had playing a video game. The sense of discovery rivals the all-time greats, the puzzles are brilliant but never obtuse, and the natural horrors of space terrified me more than most actual horror games. I was so completely captivated by the experience that I forgot all about food and sleep for much longer than I care to admit. 

ahh yes its a captivating experience for sure

I really need to play this game. I have avoided watching playthroughs to avoid spoilers I practically forgot about it (plus had other games to play).

 

For me, probably Vagrant Story. It got lost in the slew of Squaresoft JRPGs towards the end of the PS1 life-cycle and it was a bit complicated.

Silent Hill 2 is the one that gets all the love.

 

But Silent Hill 3 is better. Much much better.

 

Oh and Heather is the best. ?

Here are five for the PS4. Each with a platinum trophy for those who care:

428: Shibuya Scramble - Next to Steins;Gate as my favourite visual novel. It's all told in real life photography and probably has a good chunk of Western appeal, plus one of the most engrossing and funny stories I've ever experience in a video game.

Linelight - Amazing small puzzle game. Puzzle design is elegant and difficulty is spot on. Sleek art style, and great ost.

Songbird Symphony - Extremely charming pixelated adventure/rhythm game. That this has fewer than a thousand owners on here is a tragedy.

Octahedron - Trippy and difficult platformer with a pretty unique game mechanic of making platforms underneath you. Not for people who wants an easy plat.

88 Heroes - Fun and funny platformer where you have 88 lives. Each life is a hero who all have different ways of controlling, some of them extremely experimental and weird. This is like a game design masterclass.

The Neverhood imho great game and seriously underrated 

God tier opinion. Claymation, endless halls of lore, devious puzzles, and the best game ost ever made? This game has it all.

my name is mayo- those graphics, the simple yet addictive gameplay, the journey of a hapless jar of mayo through all those outfits and costumes, and all this for only 99 cents! why are people not playing this?

Another game that I always thought was underrated was the Phantasy Star series. I really enjoyed the early ones for the Sega Genesis. It was one of my favorite RPG games.

In my opinion walking sims are very underrated. There's a LOT of really great walking sims out there that a lot of gamers neglect because they think they're 'boring'. Each to its own of course but some walking sims have a really deep and compelling stories.

 

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is one of the better story driven games walking sims I played in a long time. Also Dear Esther, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch are high on my favorites list.

Hands down Sleeping Dogs. The story, the soundtrack, voice actors, everything was freaking perfect. My favorite game of all time

Final Fantasy X-2 & XIII. Both games seem to be looked down upon by the Final Fantasy community and I don't get why, I got the platinum in both games and I'd do it al over again, I absolutely loved my time with both games and they don't deserve the hate they get, wonderful games. Metal Gear Solid 2 is another, conspired by many to be the worst mainline Metal Gear, I consider it the best.

If we go in time travel to 2006, I would hard argue for Battalion Wars.

 

A rip off from the Advance Wars series from the old Game Boy Advance, its approach on a home console was absurdly well-developed and translated for that scheme. It was the first real-time strategy game I've ever and probably only tried, and can say was so amazing and beautiful that was so hard to find in my country that I had to ask my relatives in the States to buy it for me, and they find it. Absolutely recommended for anyone who's interested in retro gaming and try a different taste from modern RTS genre. I love it since it really has that army, warfare feeling despite it's really cartoonish but that boost its overall immersion into the play through.
